Metcal is pleased to announce that it will feature the MX-5200 Soldering, Desoldering and Rework Series at the SMTA Connecticut Expo & Tech Forum, scheduled to take place Wednesday Oct. 22, 2014 at the Waterbury Marriott in Waterbury, CT. The MX-5200 features a dual-simultaneous use option, meaning that two hand-pieces can work from one power supply at the same time.

The MX-5200 features two hand-pieces that share 80 watts of output power based on demand, adding even more application flexibility and speed. Four different hand-pieces and a comprehensive range of soldering and rework cartridges support the MX-5200 Series simultaneous dual operation. These include the Metcal Advanced™ Hand-Piece for SMD rework, a Metcal Ultra-Fine™ Hand-Piece for fine access, a Precision Tweezer capable of removing a range of components from 0201 chips to 28mm SOICs, and a Desoldering Gun for safely removing through-hole components.

Additionally, company representatives will be available to discuss Metcal’s full line of solder fume extractors and convection rework systems. From volume to tip to bench-top fume extraction, Metcal has systems to purify the air by filtering harmful smoke and particulates from the working area.For more information about Metcal, visit www.metcal.com.
